Could you please post the list of the National Parks involved? This tour seems much more complicated than the Missions tour and requires more planning to ensure one has enough time to do them all. Not to mention the website mentions 24 parks, and there are 26 according to the NPS.

Hello ddominic, we really appreciate your putting the list together. Thank you for helping out. If you would, please send me the list in an attachment so that I may post it to our website. Please send to GonzoCrossUSA@gmail.com
